Tough day ahead for me, constant worry/sadness

Hi all,

I've posted my own board in the depression forum as well but feel like I need help getting through each day.

I have extreme existential dread and depression as a result of overthinking my own mortality, death of loved ones, meaninglessness of life, etc. The worst part is I draw cute happy cartoons for a living and every morning I wake up and think "oh shit, another day of my life just passed me by! only a matter of time before it's my last day!" and feel sick to my stomach, it has been really bad this morning.

Trying to focus on drawing cartoons just feels impossible. I've been taking vitamin D3 and magnesium in the hopes it will alleviate some of the dreadful feeling but my mind is still haywire thinkng ahead to old age and death. Can anyone help me make it through today without this dread and fear? :(

I'm sorry that I didn't see this before and wasn't able to offer my support to help you get through that day, but I hope that you're doing alright and feeling a little better. Stay strong and take care!
